“…Maximum increase in soil Mg concentration was again noted in case of pressmud application which was 70.59%, 182.35%, 223.53% and 279.41% at 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% (w/w), respectively compared to control. The significant change in soil nutrient status in response to manuring with organic wastes was attributed to impact of organic manures on soil properties, nutrients release and retention and nutrients transformation in soil [24,30,47]. Soil nutrient dynamics were greatly affected by different sources and levels of organic manures, with highest effect in case of pressmud followed by chicken manure and farmyard manure in descending order.…”

Manuring with organic wastes might be an important approach for maintaining soil fertility and crop productivity. However, beneficial effects of manuring may vary depending upon the type of manure and rate of application. The present study was planned to investigate the efficiency of three different manures i.e. pressmud, farmyard manure and chicken manure applied at 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% (w/w) to affect nutrient dynamics in soil and maize (Zea mays L) under alkaline conditions. Results revealed that manuring with organic wastes markedly affected the soil properties, with highest effect in case of chicken manure. Soil nutrient concentrations improved by the use of organic manures and maximum increase was found with pressmud which was 17.83%, 37.60%, 48.33% and 55.29% in phosphorus (P) and 9.82%, 20.54%, 32.14% and 40.18% potassium (K) at 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10%, respectively compared to control, while farmyard manure showed superiority for soil nitrogen (N). Soil micronutrients including copper, iron, zinc and manganese were also greatly affected in response to manuring. Nutrient concentrations of maize were also enhanced by the use of manures, with maximum increase in case of pressmud which was 66.96, 77.68, 93.75 and 113.39% in N, 72.73, 154.55, 218.18 and 336.36% P, and 19.75, 30.86, 49.38 and 72.84% K at 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% (w/w), respectively compared to control. Similar trend was found in case of other nutrients. Pressmud again showed its superiority to improve grain yield i.e. 14.85%, 22.19%, 34.02% and 58.25% by the application of 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% (w/w), respectively compared to control. In conclusion, pressmud showed supremacy over other manures in improving soil properties and nutrient dynamics in soil and maize plants with a consequential increase in grain yield. The beneficial effects of manuring increased with increasing the application rate.

“…Application of vermicompost stimulates soil microbial activity and their growth helps in mineralization of plant nutrients, and eventually improves soil fertility and quality in the crop production system (Balasubramanian et al 2013). Application of vermicompost improves soil aeration, water holding capacity, and availability of plant nutrients (Gill et al 2019). Vermicompost is a good choice as a substitute for chemical fertilizers in sustainable agriculture.…”

Organic manures are a vital source of plant nutrients and act as the main pillar of sustainable agriculture. This 2-year field study was done to evaluate the influence of different organic manures and their combinations on productivity and grain quality of bread wheat. In a 2-year field experiment, there were eight organic manure application treatments: (1) control (no manure), (2) press mud (PM) 10 t ha −1 , (3) vermicompost (VC) 10 t ha −1 , (4) farmyard manure (FYM) 10 t ha −1 , (5) press mud 5 t ha −1 + vermicompost 5 t ha −1 , (6) press mud 5 t ha −1 + farmyard manure 5 t ha −1 , (7) vermicompost 5 t ha −1 + farmyard manure 5 t ha −1 , and (8) press mud 3.3 t ha −1 + vermicompost 3.3 t ha −1 + farmyard manure 3.3 t ha −1. Overall, the increase in grain yield from organic manures application (press mud, vermicompost and farmyard manure), alone and in combinations, was VC >

“…FYM production is easily accessible with straw, cow dung and cow urine and apart from supplying nutrients it supplements the soil with improved physical conditions reveals good potential for its use (Ram et al 2016, Ali et al 2019. Vermicompost application stimulates soil microbial activity and their growth helps in mineralization of plant nutrients, soil aeration, water holding capacity and availability of plant nutrients eventually improves soil fertility (Gill et al 2019). Liquid manures like jeevamrut enhanced microbial activity in soil and ultimately ensure the availability and uptake of nutrients and producing plant growth promoting substances (Palekar 2006, Gore and Sreenivasan 2011, Ukale et al 2016.…”

The present study was carried out on cucumber cv. K-75 during , 2018 and 2019. The experiment comprised of nine kharif treatments of different nutrient sources including organic manures and inorganic fertilizers. The effects of organic manures (farmyard manure, vermicompost and jeevamrut) alone and in conjugation with inorganic fertilizers on growth, nutrient uptake of cucumber were observed. Integrated use of inorganic fertilizers and organic manure significantly influenced plant growth, yield and nutrient uptake by crop. The highest leaf area (394.3 cm ), vine length (3.1 m), fruit weight (273.5 g) and NPK uptake (143.6, 31.2 and 153.4 kg ha , respectively) was in RDF + 2 -1. FYM @ 100 q ha . Increment in NPK uptake under FYM @ 100 q ha + Jeevamrut @ 5% was 52.7, 53.2 and 46.7% over control. The current -1 -1 study conclude that the better understanding of importance of integrated nutrient management could be a sustainable module in maintaining soil fertility thus enhancing nutrient uptake and enhanced soil health as evident by soil fertility status of soil after crop harvest.
